One-day diet plan to lose extra kilos

Attacked by killer calories? Here's how you can manage your daily nutrient content and still lose some kilos.

Gravity works double shifts. Cellulite pokes out from the sides. If you think a depressionbinge will help, sorry to burst your bubble.

Not a chance. Especially if the extra layers are a pre-condition of diabetes, poor metabloic system or menopause. It's the Attack of the Killer Calories and the metre will continue rising until you stop looking for a consolatory shoulder in your refrigerator.

You'll always find a hidden counsellor popout offering sweet words in the form of a juicy meaty steak or a scrumptious nuttychocolate brownie. That's your cue. Stop scratching the dates on your calendar and get your act together. Let today be the day.

Gear up girl. You'll need to be a fighter. Sitting pretty, waiting for the wind to blow away the calories might take a century. Forget Bridget Jones, her diary entries always increased with her weight. Now, a curvacious Sharon Stone is the flavour of the season.

Sure, you'll have to replace your favourite dessert with a healthy papaya or the stuffed pancakes with maple syrup and butter on the side with oats porridge and soy milk-but hey, a diet plan still means six meals a day. Small meals, but six nonetheless.

Shallow epicentre proved fatal in Sikkim earthquake

Aftershocks and rain aggravate damage caused due to the powerful quake that occurred at a shallow depth of 10km.

New Delhi: The quake that shook Sikkim and parts of east India on Sunday evening was as powerful as the Chamoli earthquake of 1999.

The quake occurred at a shallow depth of 10km, which explains the widespread tremors felt all over east and north India, including Delhi.

The intensity of the quake was recorded at 6.8 by the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), while the US Geological Survey reported the magnitude as 6.9.

Aftershocks and bad weather in the region may have aggravated damage caused due to the quake, weather department officials said.

The quake was followed by aftershocks that measured 5.7 and 5.3 on the Richter scale.
"Quakes are not unusual in the region, which falls in the highest siesmicity zone of India,"IMD director general Dr Ajit Tyagi told Mail Today. Though the aftershocks were of a much lower intensity, they could have led to damage. Buildings that cracked during the quake could have collapsed as a result of vibrations caused by the aftershocks, he explained.

The rainy weather prevailing in the region too increased chances of landslides in the hilly areas, Tyagi said.

Sikkim falls in zone five, which is categorised as 'very severe intensity zone'. This zone covers nearly 12 per cent of India's landmass comprising the entire northeastern India, parts of Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Rann of Kutch in Gujarat.
